The only award I think it didn’t deserve was Best RPG.
But, on the other hand, it should have gotten Best Sound Design over BF6; so it still would have gotten 9 awards.
Truly a masterpiece of a game. To those haters saying “But not even BG3 got that many awards!” it’s not a fair comparison. BG3 is a slightly better game IMO, but Expedition 33 is a work of art on top of being an amazing game and appeals to a much wider audience. Which isn’t to say games like BG3 aren’t beautiful, but I think anyone would agree that E33 is on a whole other level.
I’ll see you Best RPG and raise you a Best Independent and Best Debut Indie.
They have a publisher that funded them with hedge fund money and outsourced aspects of the production to entirely different companies. I’m not making a comment on the quality of the game, but how is that indie?
Most of the attacks are easy to parry, but about 1/4 of them are complete bullshit with unreadable animations and broken timing. I finished the game but didn’t bother beating Simon. Apparently being level 95 with 20k health isn’t enough. Completely unbalanced game.

In your opinion what game deserved the best rpg of 2025?
Kingdom Come Deliverance 2
I love E33 but the RPG mechanics are pretty barebones.
The parry mechanic completely ruined the combat for me, I still can’t motivate myself to finish the game because of it.
